RCS model showing the association between the RC and outcomes. A: IR; B: T2D. RCS model was adjusted for age, sex, ethnicity, education levels, hypertension, self-reported of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, chronic pulmonary disease, heartrate, BMI, TG, TC, LDL-C, creatinine, ALT, AST, FBG, uric acid, sodium. Abbreviations: RCS, restricted cubic spline; RC, remnant cholesterol; IR, insulin resistance; T2D, type 2 diabetes; BMI, body mass index; TG, triglycerides; TC, total cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; FBG, fasting blood glucose
